The Borno State Governor, Professor Babagana Umara Zulum on Sunday inspected five capital multi-billion Naira projects ongoing in Maiduguri and neighboring Jere Local Government Area, official report noted.
The Muslim Voice discovered that Prof. Zulum visited the new trailer park, flyover at the customs roundabout, a dual carriageway from custom to Muna, Kwanan Yobe road and drainage network, and Maiduguri-Bama highway.
During his visit to the flyover project, Zulum said, he intended to ease traffic at the normally congested Customs roundabout in Maiduguri.
He noted that” He is opening up the state capital as part of response to increased vehicular movements on the roads caused by population growth largely instigated by forced migration of families some of whom have settled in Maiduguri as a result of displacement by insurgents.”
Zulum was later at the site of the ongoing 10km dual carriage way linking custom roundabout to Muna and 2.5km Kwanan Yobe road and drainage construction all in Jere Local Government Area.
The North-Eastern State Governor checked the 65km Bama-Maiduguri highway which, when completed, will link the state capital to Cameroon Republic through the commercial town of Banki. The Governor was excited by the progress of work.
Zulum said, “We need to speed up the process and this should not affect the quality and specifications.”
